They fixed it!

If you're into the genre, do give the demo a try. I was sold already by the old one.

Quoting: hardpenguinOh the watermark was removed? That's great. Cheers and keep up the good job! 💪

Thank you! As far as I'm aware, we've never had in-game watermarks. Just the splash screen at the beginning.

The bug message about all this shows an option about a watermark:

Quoting: PhlebiacHmm... pretty sure I played this demo a few years ago. I guess they have been on hiatus?

I played their old demo, too, and the most important thing to me is that they're still working on the game. But I asked them on the Steam forums and they said this would be a new demo, or an improved one at least. I don't know if I'm gonna check it, they got me with the first one alright.

Quoting: EgonautI don't know where that 75GB come from, it only consumes 39GB here.

Fantastic to hear! :grin: I wonder why the Steam page lists it as 75GB? :unsure:

Maybe one is the amount to download, and the other the space actually needed on disc after decompression?

Quoting: hardpenguinDisclaimer - GDevelop is free and open source however the default build of the editor will add GDevelop watermark or splash screen to the game.

It can be removed by either paying for their subscription or, as I understand, compiling it on your own from the source.

This is a legitimate business tactic that does not violate open source principles at all.

Yeah absolutely nothing wrong with it. Being open source doesn't mean they can't do things in their own product. I think it's a perfectly fine to show a splash screen of the tool.

Well, I would prefer it to have it both optional, and show some message telling the game developer why they really should leave the splash screen where it is (making little PR for something good). The game developers probably are able to just recompile the thing, but the engine developers seem to make it feel like cheating.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIn general, the idea that just individually behaving well can create change is overblown. And in fact, it has often been pushed by large corporations precisely because they are aware it will not work; so they invented individual "carbon footprints" to divert people's attention away from regulation or creation of different infrastructure, emphasize recycling plastic so people won't think about mandating alternatives to plastic, and in general emphasize individual action as consumers so people won't think about political action as citizens.

People shouldn't lean too far in the other direction either, though. Some people think we cannot do anything because The Markets or The System... In the end, it all consists of humans. Though some way more powerful than others, obviously.

Easy, there is a bot [External Link] that tells if you are one… :shock:

So, we're still needed as little helpers [External Link]...

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThere are some anti-consumer behaviours which are clearly profitable and hardly any for-profit firm will avoid, like planned obsolescence--selling the same customer the same thing once every three years is clearly more profitable than selling it to them every 30 years.

Not sure about that. I'd tend to try something from another company after those three years. Which might break all the same - but it's worth a try.

Quoting: ssj17vegetaGenuine question here : what's the benefit of having an emulator on Steam, apart from the automatic updates ?

Public visibility, I guess?
